I can't believe those thing were leaking so bad. You are right I hear nothing but bad stories on CMI's. Scary thing is the Tiger I bought has them as well. I guess I will be taking them off and pressure testing. Can they be fixed? Email me a pic of the motors in the boat ([email protected]) and I will post the pic here for you. 82mph impressive wait til you get the props dailed in, I guess it is time for some 28's.

Vic, The Sonic boys will not be happy about your new boat.

Any information on the performance of the stainless marine exhaust vs. the CMI headers ??? any lack of H.P. ???
How much do they cost a set?
